    cmon guys, some info would be nice!

    This wasn't revealed in a manner meant to overlook folks in the forum. Sometimes we simply cannot let things slip until they go live at a certain time and place.

    But, now that the Ant is out of the bag - let the picnic begin!
    (I'm not sure what that analogy even means, but it sounds kinda good.)

    Speaking of a picknick, will this, like the Gauntlet, be another single player only event, or will there also be Alliants rewards?

    Nice pun but you just know the servers will throw a hissy fit for the first few days.

    at least it won't prevent people from competing optimally, since it is non-competitive. no refreshes, etc.

    No Alliance rewards, just personal progression.

    To temper expectations in terms of complexity, think of this as a very long running Deadpool Daily that rewards Iso-8, Hero Points, and Ant-Man.

    Man - I soooooo want this team-up combo! It would be a cool mechanic if you could stack team-up's so they create new abilities...

    The people animating Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes must have liked that visual too. They used it in season 1 of the cartoon.

    Will this 30 day event run alongside all other events too? I don't think I can take that much pressure from my alliance, haha!

    Plus it's one of Hawkeye's super moves in Ultimate Marvel Versus Capcom 3.

    Not to be confused with Marvel: Ultimate Alliants. There's a differants.

    This sounds great - a Deadpool Daily-esque every day with a new character reward at the end. Hopefully there will be some new story tidbits, even if it's just one brief dialog talking head session at the end of each day's round.

    will this be Scaled to each person or a fix like Deadpool daily.... Meaning the group i use right now Is not good enough to get 3 star covers half the time in the Deadpool so can i say that i have no chance at getting antman


    Mostly if you cant Beat the 3 star events in the Deadpool daily will you be able to beat antman or is the rank the same--- higher ect


    ALSO doubt you can answer this (not allowed to)
    Will this replace Deadpool or will deadpool still run
    Will other PVES run along the side of this or no PVE for 30 days

    Big question is will this 30 day event be running along side regularly scheduled PVE's with other new characters being released Durring that time? I like the idea of gauntly stylish, events, daily, events, but a 30 day event, plus the season, plus PVE's that give out new characters might be a little too much of a good thing. Does everyone remember the 2nd Ultron hat ran alongside a new season, and a PVE releasing Hulkbuster? I want to be optimistic, but I am also kind of worried about how much burn out this will cause.

    Yea I had to be that guy who brings it up.

    Scaling isn't finalized quite yet, so I can't answer whether we'll have it personally scaled or fixed. Simply don't have that concrete information.
    Deadpool Dailies will still run normally, this is just an Event that happens to have a 30 day timer on it instead of say, a 4 day Heroic.
    We'll also be running other PVEs alongside.

    And just to be sure this is getting across, it's not an event that resets daily. I say it's like Deadpool Daily in terms of complexity because people were saying things earlier about is having multiple maps, possible new mechanics, etc etc. Think more of a small series of nodes you can farm all the rewards from over a month's time.

    Correct. Well, assuming you want to. By no means a requirement.
